Marinated Chicken

Sour Cream and Guacamole Salad

Flour Tortillas

Method

Marinated Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for maximum flavor.

Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the chicken marinates, slice the yellow, green, and red bell peppers, onion, and both zucchinis.

  2. 4

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Add the sliced vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still vibrant in color.

Rice

  1. 5

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the long-grain rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is fluffy and water is absorbed.

Sour Cream and Guacamole Salad

  1. 6

    Prepare the Guacamole Salad

    In a bowl, mix the mashed avocado, diced tomato, lime juice, and chopped cilantro until well combined. Set aside.

Cooking Chicken

  1. 7

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear.

Serving

  1. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, place a bed of rice, top with grilled chicken, sautéed vegetables, and a side of guacamole salad and sour cream. Serve with flour tortillas on the side.
